Abstract

A lead frame and a semiconductor chip package includes supporters on a lead frame paddle and tiebars using the same for preventing undesired paddle bending which may occur due to the pressure of an epoxy molding compound during the molding process. The supports also allow improved heat dissipation during the molding process of the semiconductor chip package and mounting process of the package onto a printed circuit board.
